@jake_cohen4 Basically yes, it really depends on the context of your competition and the requirements. I love creating giveaways to build stronger relationships with our customers/followers. Where we randomly select users from the comment section where they simply share feedback about our product etc. Nothing complicated, it's all about spreading love. But launching a competition where you ask for random people to follow your account is quite pointless as they'll forget about your brand after few days and eventually unfollow you soon too.

Behaving like a friend (and being one). A community is after all a group of people who share at least one interest.

@fares_aktouf Content seems to be key across all communities, how big is your content team? How much content are you putting out a week?
